//! # Safe JNI Bindings in Rust
//!
//! This crate provides a (mostly) safe way to implement methods in Java using
//! the JNI. Because who wants to *actually* write Java?
//!
//! ## Getting Started
//!
//! Naturally, any ffi-related project is going to require some code in both
//! languages that we're trying to make communicate. Java requires all native
//! methods to adhere to the Java Native Interface (JNI), so we first have to
//! define our function signature from java, and then we can write Rust that
//! will adhere to it.
//!
//! ### The Java side
//!
//! First, you need a Java class definition. `HelloWorld.java`:
//!
//! ```java
//! class HelloWorld {
//!     // This declares that the static `hello` method will be provided
//!     // a native library.
//!     private static native String hello(String input);
//!
//!     static {
//!         // This actually loads the shared object that we'll be creating.
//!         // The actual location of the .so or .dll may differ based on your
//!         // platform.
//!         System.loadLibrary("mylib");
//!     }
//!
//!     // The rest is just regular ol' java!
//!     public static void main(String[] args) {
//!         String output = HelloWorld.hello("josh");
//!         System.out.println(output);
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Compile this to a class file with `javac HelloWorld.java`.
//!
//! Trying to run it now will give us the error `Exception in thread "main"
//! java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no mylib in java.library.path` since we
//! haven't written our native code yet.
//!
//! To do that, first we need the name and type signature that our rust function
//! needs to adhere to. Luckily, java comes with a utility to generate that for
//! you! Run `javah HelloWorld` and you'll get a `HelloWorld.h` output to your
//! directory. It should look something like this:
//!
//! ```c
//! /* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
//! #include <jni.h>
//! /* Header for class HelloWorld */
//!
//! #ifndef _Included_HelloWorld
//! #define _Included_HelloWorld
//! #ifdef __cplusplus
//! extern "C" {
//! #endif
//! /*
//!  * Class:     HelloWorld
//!  * Method:    hello
//!  * Signature: (Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
//!  */
//! JNIEXPORT jstring JNICALL Java_HelloWorld_hello
//!   (JNIEnv *, jclass, jstring);
//!
//! #ifdef __cplusplus
//! }
//! #endif
//! #endif
//! ```
//!
//! It's a C header, but luckily for us, the types will mostly match up. Let's
//! make our crate that's going to compile to our native library.
//!
//! ### The Rust side
//!
//! Create your crate with `cargo new mylib`. This will create a directory
//! `mylib` that has everything needed to build an basic crate with `cargo`. We
//! need to make a couple of changes to `Cargo.toml` before we do anything else.
//!
//! * Under `[dependencies]`, add `jni = { git =
//!   "https://github.com/prevoty/jni-rs" }`
//! * Add a new `[lib]` section and under it, `crate_type = ["dylib"]`.
//!
//! Now, if you run `cargo build` from inside the crate directory, you should
//! see a `libmylib.so` (if you're on linux/OSX) in the `target/debug`
//! directory.
//!
//! The last thing we need to do is to define our exported method. Add this to
//! your crate's `src/lib.rs`:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! extern crate jni;
//!
//! // This is the interface to the JVM that we'll call the majority of our
//! // methods on.
//! use jni::JNIEnv;
//!
//! // These objects are what you should use as arguments to your native
//! // function. They carry extra lifetime information to prevent them escaping
//! // this context and getting used after being GC'd.
//! use jni::objects::{JClass, JString};
//!
//! // This is just a pointer. We'll be returning it from our function. We
//! // can't return one of the objects with lifetime information because the
//! // lifetime checker won't let us.
//! use jni::sys::jstring;
//!
//! // This keeps rust from "mangling" the name and making it unique for this
//! // crate.
//! #[no_mangle]
//! // This turns off linter warnings because the name doesn't conform to
//! // conventions.
//! #[allow(non_snake_case)]
//! pub extern "system" fn Java_HelloWorld_hello(env: JNIEnv,
//! // This is the class that owns our static method. It's not going to be used,
//! // but still must be present to match the expected signature of a static
//! // native method.
//!                                              class: JClass,
//!                                              input: JString)
//!                                              -> jstring {
//!     // First, we have to get the string out of java. Check out the `strings`
//!     // module for more info on how this works.
//!     let input: String =
//!         env.get_string(input).expect("Couldn't get java string!").into();
//!
//!     // Then we have to create a new java string to return. Again, more info
//!     // in the `strings` module.
//!     let output = env.new_string(format!("Hello, {}!", input))
//!         .expect("Couldn't create java string!");
//!
//!     // Finally, extract the raw pointer to return.
//!     output.into_inner()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Note that the type signature for our function is almost identical to the one
//! from the generated header, aside from our lifetime-carrying arguments.
//!
//! ### Final steps
//!
//! That's it! Build your crate and try to run your java class again.
//!
//! ... Same error as before you say? Well that's because java is looking for
//! `mylib` in all the wrong places. This will differ by platform thanks to
//! different linker/loader semantics, but on Linux, you can simply `export
//! LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/mylib/target/debug`. Now, you should get the
//! expected output `Hello, josh!` from your java class.
